3DS already down 15% from last year. The decline continues.

Depends on which tracker u use, if u average them out it's 182k vs 176k in 2014's favor which would be down like 3% YoY.

For comparison, Vita is down about 30% YoY when taking the average of both trackers, so not nearly as bad as ur making it out to be.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Well that's not a massive tracking difference for the Wii U and 3DS at all....

One of these days somebody has to explain to me why PS sales always go up on new years while Nintendo numbers go down.

While others have explained, it's called otoshidama. It's a money giving to older children or family members. These people are more likely to buy Sony consoles with that money.

Very little chance. What little digital sales we do know for Japan, most games have less than 10% digital to retail ratio. There are very few exceptions.

1: Launch weeks, remove those inflated numbers and Wii U > PS4

2: Traditional sony week

The true battle begins next week but who knows, I'm pretty sure ps4 wiill win 2015 even though I want wii U to win.

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Might want to check on your rankings/number. Animal Crossing is listed at 20k, which is more than the two games above it.
